The Tianqin clan was supreme in Walaurent City. Without any exaggeration, the entire city was under the control of the Tianqin clan. Countless people would take pride in being able to enter the Tianqin clan as a servant.
Normally, the Tianqin clan was like a slumbering beast, quiet and dignified. However, the entire clan was in jubilation today. Cheers and shouts could even be heard from several kilometers away.
This was because the Tianqin clan had received an extremely impressive guest today. When this guest arrived, many of the senior members of the clan had even become weak in fright. Their bodies trembled. Afterwards, they used the power of the entire clan to receive the guest. They were extremely respectful and fearful.
To no surprise, the guest was Jianchen. He had obviously come to the Tianqin clan for Qin Xiao.
All the members of the upper echelon of the Tianqin clan were overwhelmed by Jian Chen's personal visit. Although it was not Jian Chen's first time visiting the Tianqin clan, his current status was completely different from before. As a result, everyone in the Tianqin clan felt like they were dreaming when they saw him. They were all overjoyed.
Qin Xiao's personality had become much more composed when he saw him again. He was even more mature than before, and Qin Xiao was already married. As a father, his wife was the princess of the Zhuya Kingdom. She had given birth to a child half a year ago.
Jianchen could not help but sigh when he saw the child in Qin Xiao's wife's arms. His emotions became rather mixed because he thought of his own child, Shangguan Aojian.
Jianchen and Qin Xiao conversed in the pavilion in the garden that day. Although they had not seen each other for a few short years, many things had happened during that time. The two of them were like brothers who had reunited after being separated for many years. They had endless things to talk about, and they still did not finish talking even after several hours.
"Jianchen, when we first met, our strength was on par with each other, but now, you've become the sovereign of the Tian Yuan Continent. I've even heard rumors that you're Mo Tianyun from ancient times. I'm really happy for you. I'm proud to have a friend like you …"
"Jianchen, I know that you've had a very difficult time in the past. Many enemies have been searching for you. I really want to help you, but I'm useless. I don't even have a ten-thousandth of your strength, so I can't help you even if I wanted to. Another reason is that each of your enemies is more powerful than the last. My father was worried that I would bring disaster to the family. He even grounded me for a period of time. I couldn't go out even if I wanted to … "
Qin Xiao's voice was filled with self-blame and guilt. In the past, when he was training with Jianchen in Mercenary City, Jianchen had saved him time and time again, pulling him back from the brink of death more than once. However, when Jianchen was in danger, there was nothing he could do. All he could do was stay in the clan and listen to the news, whether good or bad.
Jianchen patted Qin Xiao's shoulder and comforted him. He had never taken Qin Xiao's words to heart. The enemies he had offended back then were either hermit clans or ancient clans. He had even become enemies with the ten protector clans of the Tian Yuan Continent. Any one of those clans was an existence that could destroy the Tianqin clan with a flick of their fingers. Qin Xiao's father, the patriarch of the Tianqin clan, had done the right thing. He had not allowed Qin Xiao to take part in the matter back then. Otherwise, once his enemies implicated the Tianqin clan, he could not guarantee that the name of the Tianqin clan would still exist in Walaurent City.
After all, even Flame City had changed owners in the past. It had been occupied by the Extinguishing Alliance for a period of time. If it were not for the fact that the Holy Emperor of Changyang Prefecture had appeared in the end and taken away the most important people, the outcome would have been unthinkable.
Jianchen took the half-year-old infant from Qin Xiao's wife. The infant was delicate and chubby. He was extremely cute as he lay quietly in Jianchen's arms. He stared at Jianchen with his large, bright eyes.
Jianchen rubbed the infant's chubby face before pulling out a fist-sized bowl of divine water of the world from his Space Ring and feeding it to the infant, cleansing his body.
The effects of the divine water were extremely powerful. Not only could it completely change a person, turning a cripple into a cultivation prodigy, but it was also extremely beneficial to the soul.
Qin Xiao's child had been cleansed by Jianchen's divine water of the world when he was still an infant. It was already certain that he would possess extremely great talent once he grew up, becoming a dazzling new star on the Tian Yuan Continent.
After returning the child to Qin Xiao's wife, Jianchen left the Tianqin clan with Qin Xiao.
Soon after Jianchen's departure, the news of the greatest expert of the Tian Yuan Continent arriving in the Tianqin clan spread across the entire Zhuya Kingdom. It even spread further with an unstoppable force, shocking countless people and causing them to pay close attention.
Jianchen's personal visit to the Tianqin clan had unknowingly raised the status of the clan. Even the imperial family of the Zhuya Kingdom began to fawn over the Tianqin clan.
Several days later, rainbow clouds suddenly descended from the sky, enveloping a radius of a million kilometers. It made many Saint Rulers envious. However, rainbow and even nine-colored clouds had appeared far too frequently on the Tian Yuan Continent recently, so many people had become accustomed to it. As a result, their curiosity was not as great as before. Very few people went to check just who had become a Saint King.
Deep in the mountains several tens of thousand kilometers away, Qin Xiao stood on the peak of a mountain as a tremendous presence permeated his surroundings. He was rather stunned, but there was also uncontainable excitement.
He really struggled to believe that Jianchen had actually allowed him to become a Holy Emperor in just a few short days, allowing him to stand at the apex of the Tian Yuan Continent.
At the same time, Qin Xiao understood even more just what becoming a Holy Emperor meant to the Tianqin clan.
Although the Tianqin clan was already the strongest of the five peak clans in the Zhuya Kingdom, the most powerful force they possessed was only five Heaven Saint Masters. They did not even have a Saint Ruler. Yet now, the Tianqin clan directly possessed a Holy Emperor.
After Qin Xiao successfully became a Saint King, Jianchen did not return to the Tianqin clan. He exchanged some pleasantries with Qin Xiao deep in the mountains before directly leaving.
His next stop was the Qin Empire, one of the eight great empires of the Tian Yuan Continent. Jianchen had always felt gratitude toward the Qin Empire. If it were not for the fact that he had become the Imperial Protector of the Qin Empire and led his most elite troops through a Space Gate to save the Kingdom of Gesun, the Kingdom of Gesun probably would have been destroyed by the four kingdoms long ago. Even Lore City and Changyang Prefecture might not have existed.
Although the four Imperial Protectors of the Qin Empire had made an exception and allowed Jianchen to become the fifth Imperial Protector because they had seen his potential and wanted to rope him in, the assistance that the Qin Empire had provided to Jianchen was unforgettable. Although he had allowed all four Imperial Protectors of the Qin Empire to become Holy Emperors, which was basically repaying the kindness, Jianchen still had another important person in the Qin Empire, which was the third prince, Qin Ji.
